Le PNUD recrute un stagiaire en communication (rémunéré), N’Djaména, Tchad

Contexte :

Over the last decade, the four countries around Lake Chad Basin, including Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and Nigeria, have experienced repeated incidences of violence from the Boko Haram terrorist group. These crises have deepened instability, slowed economic growth, and engendered deep humanitarian concerns in the region. Additionally, the spread of radicalization, especially amongst youth, remains an imminent threat to peace, stability, and development. Absolutist ideologies that reject co-existence, tolerance, and progress represent an existential threat to these countries. These ideologies have found recruits amongst the youth who believe that the state has failed and that they are excluded from legitimate political and economic processes from time to time. Largely overlooked now due to Boko Haram activities in the region, the crisis has created an urgent humanitarian need for about 10.7 million people in the area.
On 30 August 2018, the Council of Ministers of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC) adopted the Regional Strategy for the Stabilization, Recovery, and Resilience (RSS) to ensure stabilization of the region of the Boko Haram-affected areas of the Lake Basin Region. The RSS was endorsed by the Peace and Security Council (PSC) of the African Union. The strategy elaborates an overarching regional approach in dealing with the deep-rooted causes of under-development and the drivers of violent extremism and conflicts in the Lake Chad region. It is being implemented in eight targeted areas of the four Member States.
The RSS provides a comprehensive, integrated and multi-level framework for overall Stabilization comprising nine inter-related pillars that include military support to the MNJTF, humanitarian assistance, and critical interventions to secure early recovery longer-term resilience.
The Strategy recognizes the nexus between security, humanitarian, and development issues and calls for a “New Way of Working” to be at the heart of responding to the Lake Chad Basin Region crisis. Achieving the “New Way of Working” will require strong coordination between Governments at central and local levels, regional and continental institutions, and between UN agencies and entities, including international community partners, civil society actors, and the private sector.
UNDP support to the Stabilization of the region is at two key results. Result 1 focus on immediate Stabilization of specific target areas, builds on UNDP experience in Iraq and elsewhere to offer activities to secure three outputs understood as the basis of successful Stabilization. Result 2 focuses on strengthening the capacity of LCBC to implement the Regional Stabilization Strategy as adopted by the LCBC Ministerial Council on 30th August 2018 and endorsed by the AU Peace and Security Committee summit on 5th December 2018.
To achieve the two key results, UNDP developed the Regional Stabilization Facility (RSF) to support the Lake Chad Basin Regional Stabilization Strategy’s operationalization and implementation and has resourced a Stabilization Secretariat to lead and deliver on the two result areas. The Secretariat will be responsible for programming and implementation, building strategic partnerships, mobilizing resources, technical coordination and oversight, and managing knowledge and communication that will lead to achieving the key results.
To support the RSS implementation and highlight the field’s progress, the RSS Secretariat is looking for an intern to help the Regional Communication Specialist. The intern will be part of the RSS Secretariat and work with the Communication Specialist to enhance the RSS Strategic communication, showcase the progress and results on the field through innovative communication tools, strengthen the relationship with Medias, CSO Security forces, and civilian communities, and support the program team for any communication need.
